OMG! I need help. I went into my registry and was trying
to delete a browser hijack attempt and whatever else was
wrong and I accidentally deleted ALL the .exe's. What do
I do??? I can't find my windows xp pro cd and I can't
open any windows programs atal. I can't even get back
into my registry.

Find a CD..
Repair install.

(There are no "EXE" files in the registry.. actually - there are no files at
all - it's all text - what do you mean you did?!)

The files listed here are all ZIP files, which contain a REG (Registry)
file. Download the ZIP and open it. Extract the REG file to your hard disk
and double click it. Answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be
viewed in Notepad. Each of the REG files contains the default settings for
the file extension indicated. For the ZIP file fix, the download is a REG
file, since ZIP's aren't working anyway!]]
